The National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA) set four priorities for the '15th Five-Year' universal healthcare plan. 1) Strengthen system and close gaps: tighten the universal medical insurance framework, raise maternity medical expense coverage and fully establish a nationwide long-term care insurance scheme to reduce regional and group disparities. 2) Push reform and coordination: deepen payment-method reform, drug price governance and dynamic adjustment of the medical insurance reimbursement list; enable medical institutions and support pharmaceutical innovation. 3) Tighten management and service: institutionalize spot inspections, routine audits and intelligent monitoring, and intensify crackdowns on insurance fraud to protect the medical insurance fund. 4) Reinforce foundations and support: strengthen legal and standards work, upgrade medical insurance information systems and extend public-service reach to underpin long-term development.
